Forward Collision Warning (Fcw) With Mitigation - Dodge Durango SRT 2018 Owner's Manual

When the system is in RCP, the system shall
respond with both visual and audible alerts
when a detected object is present. Whenever an
audible alert is requested, the radio is also
muted. Turn/hazard signal status is ignored; the
RCP state always requests the chime.
Blind Spot Alert Off
When the BSM system is turned off there will be
no visual or audible alerts from either the BSM
or RCP systems.
NOTE:
The BSM system will store the current operating
mode when the vehicle is shut off. Each time the
vehicle is started the previously stored mode will
be recalled and used.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
With Mitigation
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) with Miti-
gation system provides the driver with audible
warnings, visual warnings (within the instrument
cluster display), and may apply a brake jerk to
warn the driver when it detects a potential frontal
collision. The warnings and limited braking are
intended to provide the driver with enough time
to react, avoid or mitigate the potential collision.
108
NOTE:
FCW monitors the information from the forward
looking sensors as well as the Electronic Brake
Controller (EBC), to calculate the probability of a
forward collision. When the system determines
that a forward collision is probable, the driver will
be provided with audible and visual warnings
and may provide a brake jerk warning. If the
driver does not take action based upon these
progressive warnings, then the system will pro-
vide a limited level of active braking to help slow
the vehicle and mitigate the potential forward
collision. If the driver reacts to the warnings by
braking and the system determines that the
driver intends to avoid the collision by braking
but has not applied sufficient brake force, the
system will compensate and provide additional
brake force as required.
If a Forward Collision Warning with Mitigation
event begins at a speed below 26 mph (42 km/
h), the system may provide the maximum or
partial braking to mitigate the potential forward
collision. If the Forward Collision Warning with
Mitigation event stops the vehicle completely,
the system will hold the vehicle at a standstill for
two seconds and then release the brakes.
FCW Message
When the system determines a collision with the
vehicle in front of you is no longer probable, the
warning message will be deactivated.
NOTE:
• The minimum speed for FCW activation is
1 mph (2 km/h).
• The FCW alerts may be triggered on objects
other than vehicles such as guard rails or sign
posts based on the course prediction. This is
expected and is a part of normal FCW acti-
vation and functionality.
• It is unsafe to test the FCW system. To
prevent such misuse of the system, after four
Active Braking events within an ignition cycle,
the Active Braking portion of FCW will be
deactivated until the next ignition cycle.
